Type By Touch

Diane Gifford, the owner of Type by Touch, was taught touch typing the hard way – on an old fashioned manual typewriter, after parental pressure to gain a fall-back skill."It’s been one of the most useful skills I ever learned, saving me more hours of valuable time than it's possible to count. Diane started by teaching her 3 sons to touch type."Seeing the marked benefits having this skill made in their lives - through their Schools, then at University and now in their careers, motivated me to become a touch typing tutor to others". Type by Touch now runs courses across the UK including at several leading schools. Diane has taught 100’s of children over the years with overwhelmingly positive results and feedback. It also now widely accepted that being able to touch type is a particularly beneficial skill for students with Dyslexia, Dyspraxia or similar assessments, and Type by Touch has run courses for ADHD children in conjunction with the ADHD Parent Support Group in Glasgow. Adults too can learn this skill and Companies and Businesses are slowly starting to understand the productivity and health gains that can be made by having their staff attend intensive keyboard skill training courses.
